books, events, etc.​

​My research and teaching cover drama/theatre and a range of modern Irish Studies, from revivalist drama to contemporary fiction. I earned my PhD at Trinity College, Dublin, with a thesis that ultimately became The Urban Plays of the Early Abbey Theatre: Beyond O'Casey (Syracuse). While working on that book, I taught in Philadelphia. A highlight was co-convening a Ulysses reading group with Shelly Brivic and Samuel R. Delany.

First full draft of The Theatre of Wallace Shawn is nearly complete ... busy days. Have you read Shawn's new book? It's called Night Thoughts. Give it a read, if you are in an essay frame of mind. It's terrific.
